    Exclamation Extract number that comes before a certain word in an alphanumeric cell

    Hi all,

    I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm looking for a function that extracts a set of number that comes before the word "trips" in an alphanumeric cell. The cells contain clutter of words and numbers that sometimes the number (that comes before the word "trips") is at the beginning of a cell or sometime it's at the end of a cell.
    I did a bit of research and found a support page from MVP in ms office website but it doesn't give me the result that I need. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...001154901.aspx

    Example:

    E2 = 200 Trips - Structural
    E3 = Wheel - 300 Trips

    Result display:

    F2 = 200
    F3 = 300

    Thank you in advance.
    Cheers,
    Pearl
